Rodin Museum or Picasso Museum?

Me again!





If you only had time for one, which would you go to and why?




|||



Rodin, especially if it%26#39;s a nice day. The museum is so interesting, the garden is lovely, the café is a great spot to rest your feet and have a cup of coffee and a snack and I don%26#39;t enjoy Picasso%26#39;s work.




|||



Ditto above for all the same reasons




|||



I was at the Picasso about 3 weeks ago. One thing I like about the Picasso museum is that they seem to change the exhibits on a regular basis. I have rarely seen the same exhibit twice.





However, I did not like the program I saw 3 weeks ago as much as I have liked previous ones. It seemed disorganized and the audio guide was not in sync with the paintings and sculptures.





There is also construction going on outside the building which of course, takes away some of its appeal.





The good news is that officials who work at the museum say that a new exhibit is to be installed shortly. I am sure that it will be excellent.





In any case, the Picasso museum is always worth seeing. However, if you go now, you will not see it at its best.

Rodin Museum--beautiful--and famous--artwork in a beautiful setting, both in the house and in the lovely garden.




|||



It really depends on which art you prefer.




|||



It doesn%26#39;t matter what kind of art you love, the Rodin Museum is a one-of-a-kind experience in a one-of-a-kind city. There%26#39;s nothing like gawking at the ACTUAL Tres Homes or Gates of Hell on a beautiful day, or even a windy gray one. Save Picasso for next time.




|||



I would pick Rodin mainly for the same reasons as others have said, the gardens, the art, etc. BUT if Picasso has a special exhibit,, it might be wise to view the info about the exhibit and then decide if it something you would like also. Then it will be a hard decision

I would have to agree with the majority..Rodin..but then, I am definitely not a Picasso fan!

I disagree about the uniqueness of the Rodin Museum. I find it to be very similar to the Picasso; both large mansions with garden areas to enjoy.



Also don%26#39;t find it so one of a kind, as there is a very similar Rodin Museum in Meudon, a suburb of Paris that I, personally, prefer.




|||



BOTH are fine museums and representations of the individual artists



work.. So rather than make the choice between the two...find SOMETHING ELSE to omit from your %26#39;plan%26#39;...and skip that instead.
